What makes this condo unique

Guestbook comments from the owner

Whether you want to sit in the sun, read while listening to the sound of the waves or be on the move from morning until night this is the place to be. There is no better snorkeling anywhere than right here at the cove and it is right out side your door. Sea turtles are always there and they enjoy sunning themselves on the rocks of the cove. This unit has a fully equipped kitchen, a nice living room and two bedrooms. The lanai is the perfect place to drink your morning coffee. The condo has a pool and gas grills. We love spending time there. A great sandy beach is just a block away. This is a fantastic place.

A Hidden Gem on Maui

5
of 5

This condo is a hidden gem, and the unit was great. The owner was accommodating and friendly, and the complex manager stopped by to make sure that we were doing well. We were not sure what to expect, but we had amazing snorkeling right at the condo--much better than the places touted by the commercial outfits. The unit is comfortable and as advertised. Our kids, ages 10 to 18, got to swim with turtles every day and even some eagle rays late in our week! They are already asking when can we go back for another stay, and I hope that we can schedule another visit soon.

Great for our family!

We had a wonderful time at this condo! Condo is in an older unit so shows some signs of use, but very comfortable. Location is incredible. View of the ocean. Cove is 50 ft. away and full of sea life and turtles. Visibility sometimes iffy but incredible life and right there. Owner was great, called on our 2nd day to check on us. Answered questions promptly, via E-mail. When I asked about Boogie Boards, he had me just pick up a couple for the place and he'd reimburse us! Used the grills at night and the nice little pool. We did use the AC a little but we're from WA so always hot to us in Maui. Quick return on the deposit. I like north Maui as it's close to all the great beaches in June. Small complex friendliness and ambiance.

Wonderful time.

Fantastic Hawaiian get away

5
of 5

We just returned from a two week stay at beautiful Honokeana Cove on Maui. We have stayed in Bill Vanell's beautiful unit 217 many times through the years dating back to 1985. The laid back charm of this place is mindful of what Hawaii was like 50 or more years ago. Honokeana Cove condo complex is situated in a neighborhood so there are no huge highrises nearby and no crowds. Through the years we have found that most guests staying at the complex were repeat customers like us. We go there to relax and get away from our busy world. We have snorkeled and scuba dived in many locations around the world but the reef system within the cove, number of turtles and other other sea creatures is as good as it gets. When out of the water the views of the surrounding area and across to Molokai are stunning, especially at sunset. Unit 217 has a full kitchen and there are gas grills facing the cove so preparing dinner while visiting other guest at the grills is part of the charm. Unit 217 has air conditioning, through we rarely needed it as Hawaii temperature at night tend to be comfortable. The unit is furnished with everything you might need for your home away from home and has a conveniently located, assigned parking place. The unit has a number of books on a shelf, TV and a couple of body surf boards with viewing windows for guest use. There is a beautiful sand beach just a short walk from the condo and the walk is quite scenic. A couple of restaurants are located at that beach area. There is a food market about a half mile from the condo. We are already looking forward to a month long stay in unit 217 next year. It is a very special place for us.

Great place for a family

This unit has plenty of room for a family. The owners stock it well and so your stay is comfortable. The kitchen is a little small, but nothing you can't deal with. We had a small issue while staying there and the owners handled it right away. It's near enough to get to things easily, but also far enough that you aren't surrounded by crowds.

love the turtles

Where else can you step out onto the cove and swim with the turtles? Loved the snorkeling, and the condo was convenient and comfortable. We ate out on the lanai several times. Wonderful, lush foliage throughout the complex. Loved the barbecue/pool area where you could sit and enjoy a view of the cove and the sun set. Thanks for a great vacation!
